The things one finds in boxes from storage! Years ago, I picked up a 10"
LP of Pavel Serebriakov, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Tatanya Nikolayeva,
playing the JS Bach BWV. 1063, with an orchestra conducted by Kiril
Kondrashin. This is obviously from that 1950 event in Leipzig where DSCH
deputized at the last minute for Maria Yudina, who had hurt her finger.

I'm thinking of offering this item for sale or auction (after digitizing it
and backing that up several different ways, of course). Silly question:
Given what some of those Russian Revelation CDs go for, does anybody think
this item has some sort of collector value?

wow. Of course I'd rather substitute Richter for Serebriakov and Yudina
for Nikolaeva, but hey, you can't have everything ;) Goodluck selling,
you'll fetch a good £500 I hope.

Don't know. But I'll gladly reimurse you for the cost of making me a
digital copy.

We're in a New York candy store, 1955.

Boy enters: "Mister, Mister: make me a malted."
Propretor: "Poof! You're a malted."

The best version of that joke is ascribed to William S. Gilbert. Gilbert was
tall and athletic, so he sometimes mistaken for the guy standing outside the
hotel. (I can't think of what you call such a person.)

On one occasion..

"Call me a cab!"

"Very well... You're a three-wheeler!"

"???"

"Well, you asked me to call you a cab -- and I certainly couldn't call you
handsome!"
